Backup Utility Does Not Run Scheduled Backups to Network Drive

Discussion in 'Windows Home Server' started by Alan Auerbach, Aug 30, 2009.

  1. Until recently, the Backup Utility ran scheduled backups to a mapped network
    drive without problems. Very recently (within about a week) that stopped. I
    am able to run manual backups to the same location, but the scheduled
    backups all yield the same report:

    Backup Status
    The operation was not performed because the specified media cannot be
    found.

    My logon for the computer is Administrator
    The scheduled task is setup to run under POOLTHING\Administrator (POOLTHING
    is the domain name)
    The comnmand line for the task is

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntbackup.exe backup "@C:\Documents and
    Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Windows
    NT\NTBackup\data\Weekly Full.bks" "ServerBackup.bkf created 8/29/2009 at
    9:35 AM" /d "Set created 8/29/2009 at 9:35 AM" /v:yes /r:no /rs:no /hc:eek:ff
    /m normal /j "Weekly Full" /l:s /f "P:\ServerBackup.bkf"

    I could only find two files under:

    C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application
    Data\Microsoft\Windows NT\NTBackup\data\

    for yesterday when the last attempt was made:

    Weekly Full.bks
    Weekly Full

    Neither file is readable with Wordpad

    This is all the information I have other than that the mapped network drive
    (p:) is oeprating properly and the file ServerBackup.bkf can be fully
    accessed manually from the server.

    Thank you in advance,
    /s/ Alan Auerbach
